Beit Aknown that We, Hanny M; WILLIAM- soN and Soiurnnn H. ALEXANDER,y citizens of the United States, and residentsV off/the.

apparent in the `following detail descri tion.V

with reference to. the accompanying ing,jforming a part hereof.,

In this drawing, .the figure isa sectional view of the entire `apparatus comprising our.

invention.

Corresponding "and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated intheaccompanying drawing by the same reference characters.

Let the numeral 5 designate a radium solution containing receptacle and. the nnmeral 6 an emanation receiving and storage receptacle. Both of these receptacles are of bottle shape and preferably composed of' glass, however they may be formed of any other suitable material. A glass stopper,

is adapted to be received in the mouth. .8` of the receptacle 5?, the said stopper l,heini ground to form anair' tighty closurfe.

gasa tube 9 is, integrally. formed .aan the stopper 7 and dependsfrom thalatterinto,

the receptacle 5, said tube forming an air purifying chamber l10". An-v air 4intake tube l1 is received through they stopper 7 into the air purifying chamber 10, the samedependL ing into relatively closel fPITQXimity to the bottom of the air purifying lchamber 4,10 and communicating at its lower extremity with said chamber.` The4 upper: fpertion .of this. tube 11 is provided With a conical shaped part 12, which is seated in a portion 13 of the stopper 7, the outer extremity of said tube being extended at an angle and communicating with the atmosphere. The tube 11 may be removed, thereby opening an orifice through the stopper 7, through which,

. in t of the latter into the receptacle 5 through the air purifying chamber 10 may be lled with a chel'nical `preparationi 14 through,

which the air circulates and is purified. bef

fore passing. into=the receptacle 5. A` tube.` 15 1s vertlcally disposed in the chamber 10 its lower extremity communicatinwith the interiorl of the receptacle 5,` Whiee i tsup.

per extremity. communicates with theclfnanu` ber lOabove the level ci' the chemical prep arati-on 14 therein, thereby preventing the chemical 14: from passing into the receptacle 5. The stopper 7 is provided` with a chamber, or space 16, surrounding tube 9., with whichspace, an induction tube 17-communicates, the said induction tube 17 being controlled by a cock 18. k

The receptacle 6 is provided Witha Ahollow .stopper 19, ground to Vform an air tlght closurethe said sto Aper..having an opening in.- the topfthereo `ad to,

tubes 21 and 22 being extended'to .the ex.-

21 is inr communicationl with the ednction tubel7, ofthe receptacle 5, through, a flexible tube 24, thereby 'placing the receptacles 5 and 6 in communication 4vvith each other.

A flexible tube 25 is connected; With thev outer.y extremity .of -the eduction tube,2,2, a mouthpiece 26 being fitted inthe outer extremlty o the flexible tubej25.; The

receptacle 5 is.` mixed.
